Falling to a series low
Australia Wine Production per Capita moved from 49.74 Kilogram in 2015 to 36.44 Kilogram in 2023 (−26.7%), an average of −3.8% a year. The series high was 57.10 Kilogram in 2021 and the low 36.44 Kilogram in 2023.
What Australia Wine Production per Capita shows
Australia Wine Production per Capita was 36.44 Kilogram in 2023, down 26.9% on 2022. Australia’s wine production per capita indicator measures domestic wine production relative to the country’s population between 2015 and 2023. This population-adjusted measure provides a useful assessment of wine production intensity and enables changes in domestic production to be evaluated over time.
A 36.2% peak-to-trough swing
The gap between the series high (2021) and low (2023) is 20.65 Kilogram. The sharpest single-year move was +32.8% in 2021.
Ranks 6 of 25 countries covered
Among the 25 countries in this dataset, Australia ranks 6 for 2023, behind France (71.68 Kilogram) and Italy (71.43 Kilogram). The global figure for 2023 is 3.02 Kilogram, so Australia is above it.

Data definition
Inclusions and exclusions
Wine Production per Capita — Wine production per capita refers to the annual quantity of wine produced divided by the total population of a country, measured in grams or kilograms per person. In Our World in Data, the indicator presents country-level wine production trends over time, with values reported for each year in the selected period. The dataset provides a comparative view of wine production relative to population size, helping assess production intensity, agricultural output, and changes in wine production across countries.
The data includes annual wine production volumes converted into per capita values using national population estimates. It covers wine produced from grapes and related agricultural production included in global food production statistics. Our World in Data compiles the indicator using data from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), providing historical time-series information for countries and regions. The indicator includes country-level wine production measurements and supports comparisons of wine production performance across geographic areas and different years. Values may be presented in grams or kilograms per person depending on the country's reported production level and the dataset's unit conversion.
The data excludes wine consumption, imports, exports, inventories, prices, sales, and other trade-related activities. It does not measure per capita wine consumption, dietary or nutritional intake, consumer preferences, or household expenditure on wine. The indicator also does not represent total grape production, vineyard area, grape yield, or overall agricultural productivity, as it specifically measures wine production relative to population. Differences may occur because of revisions to agricultural statistics, population estimates, reporting methodologies, production estimates, and variations in data collection practices between countries.
About this indicator
Wine Production per Capita — Wine production per capita refers to the annual quantity of wine produced divided by the total population of a country, measured in grams or kilograms per person. In Our World in Data, the indicator presents country-level wine production trends over time, with values reported for each year in the selected period. The dataset provides a comparative view of wine production relative to population size, helping assess production intensity, agricultural output, and changes in wine production across countries.
The supplied data show that Australia recorded 49.74 kilograms per capita in 2015, increasing to 53.39 kilograms in 2016 and 55.36 kilograms in 2017. Production per capita then declined to 51.16 kilograms in 2018 and 46.97 kilograms in 2019. The indicator decreased further to 43.00 kilograms in 2020 before increasing significantly to 57.10 kilograms in 2021. It then declined to 49.88 kilograms in 2022 and fell further to 36.44 kilograms in 2023.
The indicator is classified under the Agriculture domain and Agriculture Produce subdomain because wine production is connected to agricultural production, particularly grape cultivation, vineyards, and grape harvesting. Measuring production per capita accounts for population size and provides a standardized indicator for assessing production intensity.
Australia has a well-established wine-producing industry supported by extensive vineyards and diverse wine-growing regions. Annual production can fluctuate due to weather conditions, grape yields, harvest quality, vineyard productivity, and agricultural management practices. These factors can significantly influence wine production and production per capita.
The highest value in the supplied period was 57.10 kilograms per capita in 2021, while the lowest was 36.44 kilograms in 2023. After reaching a peak in 2021, production per capita declined substantially during the following two years. The 2023 value was also below the 2015 level of 49.74 kilograms. Overall, Australia’s data show considerable annual variation, with a strong increase around 2021 followed by a significant decline toward the end of the 2015–2023 period.
